You Failed To Protect Me

Karma taps your shrugging shoulder
whispers wonder of where I’ve been
no bad deed is left unpunished
sheltered outcomes
and what you chose instead
spin the girl
now turn her over
round and round your muddled head
thought you’d skipped the sin right over
integrity was long ago swept
rugs leave remnants
dirty footprints
dribbled lips
tell where you’ve been
toss the lies like she’ll believe them
duck quickly
karma hits your head
